Jessica: 4
LL: 你是说，让我多向同事展示自己拿手的方面，stick to my strengths, 就是扬长避短，对么？

LL: A poor fit? 这又是什么意思啊？

It is your weak point, or shortcoming.
I think being shy is my weakest point. I really should be more aggressive.
Don't worry. Sometimes it takes me time to open up to people too. You should stick to your strengths by showing your co-workers what you're good at.
As I said, you just need time to warm up. It's natural to find it a bit challenging to fit in at the beginning, but you'll be fine very soon. Talk to your co-workers. Ask them stupid questions. They won't see you as a poor fit.
You find people or things a poor fit if they don't suit you, or don't get along with you. For example, if someone is a poor fit in a team, he is not working well with other team members.
I'm sure you're a good fit for the team.Jessica: Hi, Lulu. How's your new job treating you?
